In depth
Verdict
Specific Gravity won a similar race to this at Tipperary and has performed with credit in subsequent starts on Polytrack and over hurdles. He should get into the action and he holds New Story on that Tipperary form but Possible Future hasn't shown much since joining Karl Thornton from the UK. Nearly Famous has been reasonably consistent in handicaps and can make her mark but the vote goes to LOST HISTORY, who didn't run very well behind High Expectations at Bellewstown but had only been beaten narrowly by that winner a few days earlier at Tramore.
